We argued in August that -- outside of Adrian Peterson and C.J. Spiller -- there might not be a more dynamic athlete at running back league-wide. We're sticking to our claim, but Wilson's season is off to a rocky start.

"I don't count the carries," Wilson said after the game. "I just got out there, and when I'm asked to make a play, execute."

Wilson's reduced role is no mystery: Coach Tom Coughlin doesn't trust him in pass protection, where Scott is seen as the better blocker for a Giants team that's played from behind all season.

With the Carolina Panthers next on the slate, it's too early to panic. We'd argue Wilson needs more touches, not less. Break him out of his funk and give one of the NFL's more exciting young players a chance to right the ship. Who's with me?
